Unger returned to practice this week, but was "extremely limited." The Saints plan on playing him in either the third or fourth preseason game. Barring a setback, Unger should be ready for Week 1. Sat, Aug 19, 2017 02:21:00 PM

Unger returned to a limited practice Monday, and it sounds like he could ramp up activity even further in the near future. Unless he suffers a setback, he will be ready to go Week 1. Mon, Aug 14, 2017 12:15:00 PM

Unger was in pads and got in some work before leaving for a side field. The Saints will certainly take it slow with their starting center, but getting in work this early suggests he will be ready to go well before Week 1. With LT Terron Armstead out until at least October with a shoulder injury, that is a welcome development. Mon, Aug 14, 2017 11:19:00 AM

Neither move is a surprise. Armstead will open the season on the reserve/PUP after undergoing shoulder surgery in June, and he will likely be out until October. Unger is expected to be ready for Week 1. Mon, Jul 24, 2017 01:06:00 PM

Saints RB Daniel Lasco is out for the season with a bulging disc in his spine.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the injury will end Lasco's season but is not considered career threatening. Mainly a special teamer, Lasco suffered the injury in kickoff coverage during New Orleans' Week 10 win over Buffalo.

Huff was arrested for DUI, speeding, and marijuana possession in November of 2016, although the charges were dropped this past July. Huff will be in a roster crunch in New Orleans, and not being available for Weeks 1-2 won't help.

Saints TE Josh Hill underwent surgery to repair the ring finger on his left hand.

The finger had apparently been locked at a "90-degree angle" during the season. Including the playoffs, Hill caught 22 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns. He's signed for $2 million for the 2018 season.

Saints placed LG Andrus Peat on injured reserve with a broken fibula and a high-ankle sprain, ending his season.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the ligament damage in Peat's ankle isn't as bad as originally feared, and he'll make a full recovery. Expect the Saints to take it easy on Peat in spring work, but he should be 100% well before training camp. Senio Kelemete will handle left guard the rest of the way.
